Nibbs XXV (Page 51)

I feel the same way.  At least we didn't lose last week (had a bye).  I'll have fun tailgating this weekend, but as for the game, a bunch of nerds (Vanderbilt) are gonna beat us down.

LOL.... did you see the sign on Gameday last Sat.... "go to Auburn and a Vandy Grad might hire you"

At least my season seems to be going pretty good....though I am quite worried about this Sat.

Typical Razorback Pig

Heh... I saw:  "The Geeks Shall Inherit the Turf" and "Our ranking is lower than our ACT scores"

Hi Nibbs...

Spent most of the morning trying to do updates on my computer... I think it's beyond help...   Found my notecard with all the spec's for the new computer that I want.... wonder if I give it to hubby if he'll go get it for me while I"m at work Sat afternoon... who am I kidding, he'll be watching football   Funny 'cause he never really paid attn to college ball until he met me...

Oh well.... must go get ready for work....

Later....

Ok Nibbs I need advice... next weekend there is a women's only tri event here in Sydney that I could potentially enter.

No time goal... Id just swim, ride the mountain bike and walk most of the run... 

Three distance options: 

100m/3K/1K

200m/6K/2K

300m/9k/3k 

so all are shorter than a sprint tri... I have NO specific training and have not raced for 2 years. 

What do we think? I think signups close today... 

Maybe i need to add a phone number to them for them to business cards... cant run a busines if you cant be contacted...

DO IT!!  It's a mini sprint, you can easily handle the swim and bike...the run will be rough with your leg but you need to prove to yourself that you CAN do this again!! (REMEMBER MY SELF TALK POST IN dARK aRTS LAST NIGHT???)

the concerns are this: 

1) Ive swum about 3 times since last summer

2) I havent been outside on my bike for ages (but I could do that this weekend) 

3) Well we know about me and running... I dont have a clue what distance i could handle... i know I can walk any of the distances... and fitness should hold for the race duration

Lol I remember doing something with pretty pink colours that was related!

Ok I really have to go to this meeting but any tips on what I need to do in the next week if I do sign up, what distance and whether I should do it would be greatly appreciated... the fact Im thinking of it is already freaking me out!

Oh and this is the race: http://www.triathlonpink.com.au/index.html

1.) You know you can do any distance
2.) You don't want to puch the leg
3.) Then go for the mid distance
4.) If you're worried about partying too much the night before then
5.) Go for the short distance....

Come on... you've been working with a trainer, you've built up some strength from the sounds of it,  you can do it, you know you can... the trick will be to not get caught up in the moment and push it too hard... just take your time

thanks Pam - its been to years and I got SO sick during the last one (I didnt know at that point about the tummy) I guess Im a little gun shy... 

To be honest Im not worried even about the longest distance... just need to convince myself to sign up before this evening... 

That's two votes for the mid-distance...

Hi Pam....  I'm sure you're going to rock on Sat... you may not have raced in a few months... but you've still been keeping up with your training...  You've got the endurance to go the distance...  I don't think you've got much to worry about
